In my experience it has to be really gross misconduct to exclude you from collecting unemployment - not the minor thing you have talked about.
One suggestion I have for you at the hearing is to stick to the facts. Don't talk about the manager having favourites, etc (that's subjective and you can't 'prove' it). Just say that she gave you her p/w so that you could perform certain functions on her behalf, etc. If you stick to the facts and present them clearly and concisely hopefully, you can impress the adjudicator with your candour and honesty. Good Luck!
I think this is really good advice. Simply say you requested a transfer, and then suddenly got fired for having your manager's password, which she had given to you to use. Hopefully you will simply be able to get unemployment without anymore hassle, though.

I am really sorry this happened to you, but it doesn't sound like it was a good place to work. It might end up being a blessing in disguise.
